5.0 out of 5 stars ................, June 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Blueprint for Progress: Al-Anon's Fourth Step Inventory (Paperback)

This is the only book in the Al-Anon canon that recommends not reading it right away. It's a series of questions the reader answers and a summary exercise that yields an inventory of a person's character defects and character assets.

I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with self-loathing, for it helped me nail down exactly what I've done, who did it to me, why I responded the way I did, and my role in it. Non-12-steppers can just skip the alcoholism questions. A grueling and incredibly rewarding exercise in self-discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book works, October 6, 2002

This review is from: Blueprint for Progress: Al-Anon's Fourth Step Inventory (Paperback)

This book works with the practice of the alanon twelve steps and traditions, attendance at alanon meetings and a loving sponsor. i have to say though you can purchase it at most alanon meetings which you can find through the alcohol/addiction section of your area phone book. The book [is priced moderately] and should be combined with everything mentioned above. It works if you work it ! Good luck !

Good tool to use in your recovery. Good way to start the process when you don't know yourself or are confused. Helps to peel away the layers.
